poker does involve luck BUT...

successful poker is about always making decisions where the odds favor you.
So if you are disciplined and have any sort of skill outside the mechanics of the game (reading people etc).
Then you can always make money in the RIGHT game.

If youre not winning in your current game then do two things:

1 - change to a game that you do regularly beat.
2- study and practice to improve to a point where you can move up stakes.

The only losers in poker play at games they shouldnt be in.

Thank the lord some people egos outweigh their wallets.
